There are two sets of cattle yards. The main yards are located on the southern side of the property. The second set are portable yards located in about the centre of Stockholm.
Marketing agent Ben Forrest said Stockholm has been lightly stocked in the past six months and had responded very well to recent rain with an excellent body of feed.
“There is a perception that all of Western Queensland has been in extreme drought,” Mr Forrest said. “Stockholm is one property that had been under some good storms even before the recent good rain.”
Some plant is included in the sale.
